One thing thats been bouncing around in my head about this is the savings that various governments will make from this virus

My own conspiracy theory

If they manage to kerp the deathd down to 20,000 in the uk

That will save 180 million a year in pension payments

The most vulnerable groups the over 60, are also the group's that cost our nhs the most money

The savings could run into billions of pounds

Perhaps thats how they intend to finance this huge financial bale out

I'm not buying your theory, Baston, for all sorts of reasons. The economy is a circle and the inputs from pensioner's pension will be circled back into the economy. Take that 180 million out and that's a hit to the overall economy.

2nd reason, and perhaps the most important - how will they be able to ring-fence the oldies to ensure only they catch the virus and die and not pass it on to huge numbers of younger people?
